A Prayer of Praise When Things Aren't Going Well


Listen Later

Created in God's image, we have emotions because He has emotions. However, we often allow our emotions to cause us to lose sight of our Savior rather than prompting us to draw near Him. - Ashley Moore

Daily Meditation

Difficult days can quickly spiral us into self-pity, frustration, or confusion. Ashley Moore vulnerably shares how it’s easy to get stuck in those emotions, losing sight of God’s presence and peace. In this devotional, she invites us to shift our focus from the storm to the Savior.

Rooted in 1 Thessalonians 5:18, this episode reminds us that God doesn’t ask us to pretend our troubles don’t exist—He asks us to bring them to Him. Even in the hardest circumstances, giving thanks for God’s unchanging nature opens the door to His peace and perspective. When we trade tunnel vision for a heart of gratitude, we discover God’s refuge in the midst of the mess.

📝 Main Takeaways

  • Discover how giving thanks in hard seasons changes your perspective and brings peace.

  • Be reminded that God doesn’t ask you to have it all together before coming to Him.

  • Learn how gratitude helps you see God’s presence and purpose, even when life feels overwhelming.

  • Find comfort in knowing that your big emotions are safe with God, who gently invites you to rest in Him.
